So, I've recently gotten into bombing, and I really like it (except when there are greavers around, I need more CTR to handle those). Anyways, I've noticed there are some drawbacks of bombing (not going to list stuff like less dmg, it trades that in for AoE).
- Breaking Crystals. It takes forever.
- Breaking bushes/boxes. Not quite as bad as Crystals, because I can break multiple ones at once.
- Getting Cornered. This is the big one. If you're full bomber, what do you do?
- Hitting Switches. There usually are pots though, and I have vials most of the time as well, so its not really a problem.
So, looking at these problems, I'm thinking of getting a sidearm (Probably a sword). I'm thinking about Cutter, Calibur, and Troika (Sudaruska) lines.
Cutter, to break stuff faster, but it doesn't have much purpose other than that. I'd probably keep it at 3*, as that's what I have right now.
Calibur, because, well, it's Calibur. It works pretty good for everything.
Troika (Suda), because it has epic knockback (from what I've heard). Also, it isn't weak against anything, and Suda doesn't freeze (I find Triglav useless, because it's used for KB, but freeze cancels it. Derp.) but instead it stuns, which is nice for smashing stuff in a corner, then having some time to get ready again while they try to get back while stunned (Yes, I know it's only on the charge). I'm leaning towards this.
What I have:
- Calibur, CTR Low (Unbound)
- Ascended Calibur (Lvl 10)
- Striker (Lvl 5)
- Kamarin, CTR Med (Unbound)
What should I do? Other suggestions are welcome as well. Thanks in advance!
I haven't gotten one myself, but a lot of bombers swear to Valiance for its knockback and ease of use.
You can get out of corners by stocking up on stun vials.
